- 'flat' mode: disk image size must be multiple of sector size.
- 'concat' mode: each disk image size and lseek() offset must be multiple of
sector size.
- 'sparse' mode: page size and lseek() offset must be multiple of sector size.
- TODO: 'growing', 'undoable' and 'volatile' mode: redolog_t class is still
based on 512-byte blocks.
- TODO: 'vbox', 'vmware3', 'vmware4', 'vpc' and 'vvfat' mode have a builtin
geometry. If other sector sizes are supported, it should be handled correctly.
- harddrv code now reports current sector size, but still panics for now.
- TODO: harrdrv and USB disk code, bximage, BIOS.
- Create a file with image name plus extension ".lock" if an image is opened
in read/write mode. This file will be deleted after closing the image.
- Check for a lock file before opening an image and fail if it exists.
- Check for a lock file before creating a undoable/volatile redolog file and
fail if it exists.
creation, conversion and rodolog commit. Image creation support is not
present yet and the executable has not been added to standard compile yet.
TODO #1: add floppy and hard disk image creation support (from bximage.c)
TODO #2: implement support for conversion to vmware and vpc formats
TODO #3: add MSVC (nmake and workspace) support
These hdimage modes are now supported: flat, sparse, growing, vmware3, vmware4
und vpc. The image mode is auto-detected, so no change of configuration syntax
is necessary (TODO: documentation update). Example:
ata0-master: type=disk, mode=volatile, path=vmware4-test.img
- redolog class: added support for opening redolog file in read-only mode
- open backups for header check in read-only mode (growing, undoable, volatile, vpc)
time if requested (reduces code duplication)
- 'vpc' image mode: moved header check to a separate function that opens the
file, checks header/footer and returns disk type (if requested)
- implemented restore function for 'vpc' mode images
- gui: updated yes/no dialog message after saving state
- save/restore documentation update (TODO: developer doc)
been ported from QEMU and originally have this license
- TODO: The QEMU people should verify the changes and tell us if something is
missing. Bochs 2.6 will be released after everything has been confirmed to
be okay.
